[DNG] modprobe can't find modeule
I am trying to install virtualbox. I istalled it and then the virtualbox-dkms module. The problem is that the modules was installed but not loaded. I have /lib/modules/5.18.0-4-amd64/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko When I run modprobe on it I get this error: modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 I tried to point modprobe to this the directory where the module was located, but it didn't hava any effct. I should point this out: $ nano /etc/devuan_version daedalus/ceres even though in sources.list is deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main non-free contrib deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged unstable main contrib non-free I probably ran # update without having remembered the second line was present.

[DNG] Wifi dropping ramdomly
Hi, My wifi connection drops randomly. It can sometimes run for days. Other times it may drop within hours of a reboot. There seems to be no pattern to when. Initially rebooting seemed to be the only way to get the network back. Under xfce4 disabling the wifi and/or network, then re-enabling them had no effect. After many google searches I finally found at: https://askubuntu.com/questions/26054/how-to-restart-wifi-interface-without-rebooting-it-drops-connection I now have the alias(zsh): alias reload_network_module='sudo modprobe -r iwldvm && sudo modprobe iwldvm' to re-enable the wifi. So far this has restored the network connection without having to reboot. Strange as it may seem, the wifi connection has stopped dropping as frequently since reloading the iwldvm module this way.??
